Choice says the right things about disappearance from field

That’s Cowboys RB Tashard Choice, I’m talking about. You remember Choice? Versatile, enthusiastic back who has filled in nicely whenever Marion Barber or Felix Jones have been hurt, a kid who has also made his mark running out of the Razorback formation, the Cowboys’ version of the Wildcat.

The last two games Choice hasn’t had a touch as offensive coordinator Jason Garrett has increased Jones’ role.

Choice reportedly was upset about his lack of involvement while on the sideline in Minnesota last Sunday, but he said all the right things Thursday when talking to reporters in Irving.

“I just stay cool, levelheaded,” the team’s website quoted him as saying. “I know I can play, and there ain’t no reason for me not to be. That’s just the way it is. So I just sit here and continue to work hard, day-in and day-out. There’s a lot of things I could be frustrated by, but I don’t let those things bother me because that’s just the way the business is. I’ve learned a lot these three years to help me understand the business.”

That’s wise of Choice. He could have complained loudly, but instead chose to be a pro and not say anything that would be a distraction for a team whose season will be on the line Monday night against the Giants.
